Well, that was fun! I hope that you have been following along with the Sew Illustrated blog tour. I am in complete awe and amazement at the beautiful projects that were created over the last couple of weeks. Though really I shouldn’t be surprised–this is such a crazy talented group of makers.
To be completely honest, when Minki and I set out to write this book, we weren’t completely sure how it would be received–it was, um, different. But different turned out to be what people are looking for! Since the release of the book and all along this blog tour, I have heard over and over again how people are a little nervous to give sewing illustration a try. But once they do–they are a little amazed that it’s not as hard as they thought. And we keep getting reports of it being a bit addicting. 🙂
So, thank you to everyone that has cheered us on along the way and shared your projects with us on social media! We love to see what you are making, both from the book and just sewing illustration in general. Please tag us and use the hashtags #sewillustrated and #sewingillustration on Instagram so that we can find out what you are making and be inspired by you!
I am also super excited to be able to giveaway a copy of Sew Illustrated to one lucky blog reader! The giveaway will end on September 10, 2016. You can enter below.

Great projects. Thanks for the chance.

This book looks great.
I love there ideas! I love quilting and small projects; this would be much fun to incorporate!
I love quilting and creating other sewing projects such as totes. I made garments for many years and enjoyed that also. The projects in Sew Illustrated are so inspiring. Thread is really just like a paintbrush creating color and design all over the place.

I’m not sure I have a ‘favorite’ kind of sewing. If it involves fabric, thread, needles & pins, then I’m loving it. 🙂 The hop has been fun and the projects wonderful. Thanks.
Love your book!
I have enjoyed all
the creations on
the blogs. I have
been making some
bags and I think I
will try this technique
out with some stamps
on fabric and then sew
the design.

I love every kind of sewing, it is so much fun to create a new bag, quilts, clothes, toys and even mending. Thanks for sharing your book of creativity with such lovely fabric and outlining in thread.
My favorite kind of sewing is whatever I’m currently working on – EPP, hand quilting, making children’s clothes, costumes or quilting.
My favorite kind of sewing is piecing quilts. Also love hand sewing and embroidery.
I have thoroughly enjoyed myself following this blog tour. My favorite type of sewing is making table runners. And my favorite technique is appliqué.
My favorite kind of sewing is mending my kids stuffed animals.
I am currently right in a quilting phase, but I am loving all the pictures of the illustrated sewing. I think I really need to try this.
The book looks delightful! I can’t wait to try the techniques.
I mostly do garment sewing, but I’m looking forward to trying out this technique.
This book is so inspiring to me with all of its home-spun touches. My favorite type of sewing is improv modern sewing and using scraps. If I can do both in one project, it’s perfect!
Love all these projects. I see Christmas presents. Favorite sewing, hard question really. Anything but making clothes. I have had my fill of that. Mostly I quilt these days.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the Sew Illustrated blog hop. Everyone’s projects were amazing and inspiring!! I definitely want to give sewing illustration a try. Congratulations on your new book!!
